You could look at Jmol at http://jmol.sourceforge.net/. Its pretty handy for viewing molecules and can be used standalone or as an applet. People have even used it to view orbitals and surfaces.
Thats an interesting strategy, but at one point and given enough pressure (governemental?) those institutions would probably give up the names behind the numbered accounts.
(Swiss bank accounts were also 'numbered' but I think the authorities now give up account holder details if required to do so)
Just out of curiosity, where are you from? I have seen the ill effects of unions (I'm from Calcutta, India). Currently my grad students at my university are trying to unionize - and somehow the whole idea sits uneasily with me.
Hi,
I use stunnel to access my campus news server via SSL and it worked fine with FC1. However after installing FC2 starting up stunnel gives me an error: unable to find "/dev/cryptonet" but still runs. However I cant seem to connect to the news server. Has anybody faced this problem?
Last week, I turned off all the security features of my wireless router. I removed WEP encryption, disabled MAC address filtering and made sure the SSID was being broadcast loud and clear. Now, anyone with a wireless card and a sniffer who happens by can use my connection to access the Internet. And with DHCP logging turned off, there's really no way to know who's using it.
What's wrong with me? Haven't I heard about how malicious wardrivers can use my connection from across the street to stage their hacking operations? How my neighbors can steal my bandwidth so they don't have to pay for their own? How I'm exposing my home network to attacks from the inside? Yup.
So why am I doing this? In a word, privacy. By making my Internet connection available to any and all who happen upon it, I have no way to be certain what kinds of songs, movies and pictures will be downloaded by other people using my IP address. And more important, my ISP has no way to be certain if it's me.
In mid-April, Comcast sent letters to some of its subscribers claiming that their IP addresses had been used to download copyrighted movies. Since Comcast is not likely to improve customer satisfaction and retention with this strategy, it's probable the letter was a result of pressure from the Motion Picture Association of America or one of its members. And to Comcast's credit, it stopped short of direct accusation; instead it gives users an out. Says the letter, "If you believe in good faith that the allegedly infringing works have been removed or blocked by mistake or misidentification, then you may send a counter notification to Comcast."

That's good enough for me. I've already composed my reply in case I receive one of these letters someday. "Dear Comcast, I am so sorry. I had no idea that copyrighted works were being downloaded via my IP address; I have a wireless router at home and it's possible that someone may have been using my connection at the time. I will do my best to secure this notoriously vulnerable technology, but I can make no guarantee that hackers will not exploit my network in the future."
If it ever comes down to a lawsuit, who can be certain that I was the offender? And can the victim of hacking be held responsible for the hacker's crimes? If that were the case, we'd all be liable for the Blaster worm's denial of service attacks against Microsoft last year.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not deliberately opening my network to hackers and miscreants bent on downloading copyrighted material. I'm simply choosing not to secure it. That's no different from the millions of people who haven't installed anti-virus software and the millions more who don't keep theirs up to date. Yes, their vulnerabilities allow viruses to spread more quickly, but that's their choice, right?
What about the security of my home network? A determined hacker may be able to crack my passwords or exploit weaknesses in the operating system that I never even thought of, but how is that different from before? There's no system that's completely secure, so whether hackers are inside or outside my firewall will make little difference. I'm willing to trade a little security for privacy.
It feels strange to be opening up my network after years of vigorously protecting it, and it's not without a tinge of anxiety that I do so. But there's also a sense of liberation, of sticking it to the Man, that's undeniable, as well as an odd sense of community. It seems there's safety in numbers after all, even among strangers.
This is a very good point you brought up - and totally valid as well! My parents read to me when I was a kid - around 2 or 3 and by the age of 4 or so I was a regular at the library. My mother had a big collection of books which I finished pretty soon. Once I started earnign cash - books were my 'money sink':)
My wifes neice is 6 or 7 and has no idea that she can pass time by reading books rather than watching TV:(
I feel sorry fopr people who have no idea that reading books is an alternative to TV etc.

Aah, a wonderful dream, if it were to come true. Unfortunately, its going to be very difficult for companies to accept loss of fees/charges.
I wonder if anybody has any ideas as to how such a system (where there are essentially no fees, except for a connection) would work?
perfect! :)
I have the algorithm but this comment does not have enough space for me to describe it :)

Do you have any information on the current status of the patent? The article you linked to was from 2000 so I was wondering
Actually I think its about Bristol in England
It would be nice to know what it is.

How long did it take to type that out? :)

>One of the things I do when I log onto a unix box >is index all the files, so I can do quick searchs
What do you use for this indexing? And does it handle various formats (txt, PDF etc)?

thanks a lot
i'd appreciate it if you could point out how to do this (ie send output of fortune to a named pipe when somebody fingers you)
So don't read the book!
